This article will let you know the basic riding skills of a bicycle

A lot of people have dreamed of riding a bike on the road to the end of the world, it’s a common occurrence for seasoned veterans, they will even buy some good material frames like carbon fiber road bike frames and other accessories to build a bike that suits them. But these are difficult things for beginners because they do not master the relevant skills of riding the road bike.

Here are 4 riding-related skills to help beginners better master riding, so as not to hurt themselves due to improper movements:

1. Cycling posture: the upper body is lower, the head is slightly inclined and forward; the arms are naturally bent, which is convenient for the waist to bow, lower the center of gravity of the body, and at the same time prevent the impact force caused by the bumping of the car from being transmitted to the whole body; the hands are light and Firmly grip the handlebars and sit firmly on the saddle.

2. Cornering skills: The car body is in a line and leans into the corner. The center of gravity of the body is based on the car leaning into the corner, and the person and the car maintain the same lean angle. Straighten the outer knee and subconsciously add more force, as if you were about to take the pedal off.

3. Bicycle downhill riding technology: Uphill and downhill riding technology is an important basic technology for road bicycles. Riding uphill should maintain normal pedaling action, and not use sudden force. In general, it is not advisable to use standing riding or pull-up riding methods, otherwise, it will consume too much physical strength.

4. Braking skills: The front brake can provide you with very good stopping power, but it can also make you a trapeze. Therefore, when you use the front brake, move your center of gravity back. When you use the front brake, your center of gravity will naturally move forward due to inertia. You must practice when you start to brake, consciously move your center of gravity back. . The more you move your center of gravity back, the more braking power you can use.

The Basics of Road Biking

Road bicycles, commonly known as bicycle racing, are bicycles designed for road riding and can be used in road cycling competitions.

The road bicycles referred to here refer to road bicycles for competition, not bicycles suitable for asphalt roads in general (such as touring bikes, and folding bikes). A standard road bike generally includes a frame, front fork, wheelset, kit, head tube (also known as a spigot), handlebars, seat cushion, seat tube, pedals, chain, and flywheel.

The most important characteristics of a road bike are its weight and speed.

1. In terms of weight, road bicycles widely use new materials on the frame and various components, such as aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, and titanium alloy, so as to reduce the weight of road bicycles and achieve the goal of being lightweight.

2. In terms of speed, the design of road bicycles will give priority to aerodynamics and give up a certain degree of comfort. For example, road bicycles generally use flat front forks, the position of the lower handle is generally lower than the seat cushion, and the width of the outer tire is relatively large. Small. Also, road bikes have a very large cassette-to-chain ratio (i.e., gear ratio), usually 53:11 or higher.

In addition, the standard riding position of road bikes lowers the body stance and reduces the frontal area to the wind, reducing wind resistance and enabling higher speeds.

Of course, the soul of a road bike is the frame, and a good frame can give a road bike a huge boost. Compared with the frame made of aluminum alloy or titanium alloy, I am more optimistic about the frame made of carbon fiber. The advantages of carbon fiber frames are very obvious. They are light in weight, high in strength, strong in rigidity, and high in plasticity. They are ideal materials for manufacturing advanced sports bicycle parts. performance.

Combined with these characteristics of carbon fiber, the development of carbon fiber road bike frames is gradually improving. It is believed that more and more riders will realize the importance of carbon fiber road frames to road bicycles and use it to assemble their own bike!
